OEM Carrier Hot Surface Igniter LH33ZG001 for Model PG96VAT42060BBAA

This is the factory OEM hot surface igniter (part number LH33ZG001) for the Carrier PG96VAT42060BBAA 96% AFUE packaged gas unit. The hot surface igniter is the first component activated during every heating cycle — the control board energizes it to glow at temperatures exceeding 1,800°F, which then lights the gas burner. When the igniter fails, the furnace will attempt ignition, fail to establish flame, and enter a hard lockout — leaving you with no heat. A cracked, contaminated, or open-circuit igniter is one of the most common causes of no-heat service calls on this platform.

• Specs: 120V hot surface igniter | Silicon nitride element | Includes bracket and wiring harness | Factory-matched resistance tolerances for Carrier PG96VAT42060BBAA control board timing
• OEM vs Generic: OEM igniters are manufactured to exact resistance and warm-up timing specs required by the Carrier integrated furnace control (IFC). Off-brand igniters can have inconsistent warm-up times, causing nuisance lockouts or premature failure within one season.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — De-energize and lock out the unit before beginning. Allow the igniter to cool fully if the system recently ran. Tools needed: 1/4" hex driver, needle-nose pliers. Avoid touching the ceramic igniter element with bare hands — skin oils cause hot spots and crack the element. Photograph harness routing before disconnecting.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.
